Can nslookup search other domains?

[Fredric]

Can I make nslookup to do a query in first my domain ,and if it does not find an answer, make it look in another domain? Can I make nslookup query /etc/hosts?

I have tried to do some entries in /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/netsvc.conf but I can't make it work.

som examples on AIX

search multiple domains:

config file /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver      a.b.c.d
domain  mydomain.com
search mydomain.com otherdomain.com yetanother.com

search /etc/hosts first, then DNS

config file /etc/netsvc.conf

hosts = local,bind

HTH,

It worked with the search list in resolv.conf.

Thanx a bunch, Freddan
